Docker 0.8: As Docker, the application-packaging-with-containers platform, switches to a new release schedule, the first of the monthly releases has arrived and Docker 0.8 has couple of new goodies along with the focus on quality and . One item worth mentioning is the official support for Mac OS X. No, they haven’t added containers to OS X, but instead use a daemon as an intermediary between a VirtualBox VM populated with a 24MB Linux image based on Tiny Core. There’s also experimental BTRFS filesystem support which might be very useful in future.

Tails 0.22.1 out: Tails, the Linux distribution for those who want to be secure, private and anonymous, has been updated to version 0.22.1 which has a number of security fixes in the browser and name services, wipes the fingerprinting off its use of some small icons and, probably most importantly, adds an update checker which can offer to install incremental updates when needed.

CoffeeScript updated: A little late to this, but there’s been an update to CoffeeScript with version 1.7.0 (and a typo fixing 1.7.1) landing at the end of last month. Aseem Kishore summarised the changes which include chaining without parenthases, multi-line strings, new ways to destructure an array, new math operators for power, floor and modulo, and more.
